OATH Battle Buddy Trip
February 27, 2017 - March 1, 2017
WHO:
1 OATH Registered Veteran and his Battle Buddy’s son — James and Jace
1 OATH Leader — Gary Bartels
WHAT: OATH Battle Buddy Trip
WHEN: 27 FEB – 1 MAR 2017
WHERE: Mountain Home, TX
WHY: To further strengthen the bonds between our Veterans and their Battle Buddy’s family.
HOW: Rifle
In what will be the very first event for our Battle Buddy Program, James Cooley and Jace Venetz will go on a hunting trip together that will be quite an emotional journey. James served with Jace’s father, SFC Anthony Venetz, and has always thought of the Venetz family as his family. Anthony was part of a 12-man Special Forces detachment, belonging to Company A, 2nd Battalion of the 7th Special Forces Group, and he lost his life in Afghanistan on January 28, 2011. When James reached out to OATH and told us that Jace had asked him to take him hunting, we saw the need to help make this happen for so many obvious reasons. We’ll be traveling to Broken Spur Ranch in Mountain Home, TX where Jace and his mother, Debbie Venetz, will join James and the rest of the OATH team for the filming of an episode on The Ultimate Hunt. Getting Jace a quality animal will be a secondary benefit, while honoring his father and remembering his sacrifice will be paramount.
